Default Engine Light

Hello my name is Jim, Just joined. So I have a 2017 Ultra and I left my ignition switch on and went to the Pats game. Of course I returned to find the dead battery. I jumped it and got home. Then placed it on the tender the bike is running fine but now my engine light is on. I disconnected and reconnected the battery engine light is still on. Any Ideas?

I do not have a 2017 but this is my understanding of how to retrieve and clear codes.

You can find the code by holding the trigger switch on left switch housing down while turning ignition on.Codes will display in odometer.Pressing trigger switch will step through areas where codes may be.If area says Y means yes.Press switch and code will be displayed.Holding switch down will erase code.

Jumping is not good. Hopefully you will get lucky but it can take out a voltage regulator and/or stator pretty easy. Trust me, I found out the hard way myself. Got a high voltage code and replaced the voltage regulator. worked great for a week then got a low voltage code. Took it to the indy and he changed the stator and another voltage regulator.

Follow the directions above or use the search function here to find better directions on how to read the codes. There are also lists of the codes here you can find with the search function as well to see what they mean. Google is awesome for that too.

If it's still under warranty, take it in but don't tell them you jumped it off. Just tell them the light came on.

Good luck
